Source for repair service for Pentax LX (in the US)

[TheFlyingCamera]

Anyone here have a recommended repair service that will work on a Pentax LX? I'm having a problem with mine that the film advance clutch is slipping. My local repair shop, which is generally quite skilled, turned it down after attempting to work on it because he could get it to work properly for a while, but then it would start slipping again and not advancing the film.

See if he still works on them or knows of anyone.

Call KEH.com and ask if they can service the Pentax LX.

He doesn’t work on the LX. His web site lists the models he works on.

Someone on Pentax forum said a guy Named Jim Holtman at ICT camera worked on his a couple years ago. Update is if you use him. I have two LX’s.

Advance Camera in Portland OR is the best place to get an LX serviced in the US (as far as I know). They have a lot of experience working on them, have at least some stock of spare parts and can even reapply the weather sealing.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to contact them.

That's interesting. Eric used to work on mine but I know parts, especially weather sealing, were starting to get hard to find.
